The Janissaries brought by Wan Peng rushed towards the assassins like a pack of wolves. In less than a quarter of an hour, they settled the chaos with an overwhelming advantage. So many assassins in the audience only captured a few alive, including a Tatar warrior. , He had been slashed with countless knives all over his body, and when he was caught, he didn't even have the strength to commit suicide, so the janitorial guards who had been prepared immediately dropped his chin, and then pulled the person down, and the imperial doctor checked whether he was in his mouth. Toxic.

  The fifth prince of Tartar looked at all this with a cold body. His face was pale, his teeth were gritted, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were blood red.

  Assassination!

  How could there be an assassination, and why did the Tatar warriors participate in this assassination?

   As the head of the embassy, ​​he didn't know anything, and the fifth prince fell into an ice cave.

But the Imperial Guards of Great Chu obviously couldn't understand the fear and anger in his heart, but directly stepped forward and put the knife on his neck. The fifth prince's eyes were blood red, and he grabbed the blade with his hand and pulled it out, looking at it regardless. To the emperor, "Your Majesty, this minister is innocent!"

The    emperor lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "Please go down to the fifth prince to rest, and let the imperial doctor bandage the wound with him." The emperor paused and said: "The fifth prince must not be embarrassed until the matter is cleared up."

   Just looking at his shock at the time of the assassination and the action emperor standing there dumbfounded afterward, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him.

   But what does it matter? He brought the people, and the two warriors were also Tartars. If he didn't bear the blame, he had to pay enough price.

  The guards broke the fifth prince's fingers, no longer drove him with a knife, but directly grabbed his arm and took the man down. This time the fifth prince did not resist.

The banquet hall gradually quieted down, and only heard the lowly cry of some female relatives. The emperor stood with the dragon chair and glanced around the banquet hall, his eyes fixed on the fourth prince, and when he saw that he was carrying a knife covered in blood, he lowered his head. Go to see Concubine Lan Gui, who was collapsed at his feet.

   The fourth prince took the knife to defend against the assassins. Those assassins bypassed him, but he came forward with the knife to **** them and attacked the assassins. Whether he was sincere or not, the emperor was relieved at this moment.

   "Take the Fourth Prince down, and take Concubine Lan Gui down." The difference between one word and the sky is different.

   The fourth prince "嚯" looked up and looked at the emperor in shock, "Father!"

  The emperor raised his hand slightly to suppress what he was about to say, and waved: "Take it."

The Guards immediately stepped forward to support the Fourth Prince and drag them out, while Concubine Lan was also dragged up by two guards. Just as she was about to drag down, the emperor raised his hand to stop them. He said in a low voice, "If you commit suicide, I will send the nine Lan family and the emperor to accompany you."

   Concubine Lan looked up at him in shock.

  The emperor smiled lightly and said lightly: "Concubine Ai doesn't believe it, you can try it."

   Concubine Lan was like falling into an ice cave, the golden hairpin in her hand loosened and fell to the ground with a thud.

  The emperor glanced at the golden hairpin on the ground with an obscure gaze, and he let Concubine Lan Gui be held down.

He held Director Su's hand, and the veins on his hands burst out. He looked at the banquet hall, which was gradually returning to order. Wan Peng strode forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to Your Majesty, all the assassins in the hunting ground have been eliminated, and the spies in the palace All cleaned up, please show your majesty."

The Emperor    pointed to where the officials and family members were staying, and asked, "How about the casualties of my courtiers?"

   "Return to Your Majesty. Sixty-five people were wounded by the Guards and bodyguards, and twelve were killed. Fortunately, the ministers and their relatives only wounded nine people, and there were no deaths."

The    Emperor breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.

In fact, I should thank Li Baolu for the scream. At that time, the assassins were among the performers of the song and dance performances and the acrobatic performances. They entered from the right side. They should have passed the middle road and passed the bonfire. It was right in the middle of the bonfire of the officials and their family members, and when the chaos happened, these officials and family members would not be spared.

   But firstly, Concubine Lan Gui warned. The two warriors of the Tartars probably avoided some intermediate links to prevent accidents and went straight to it, and Li Baolu screamed for the first time, making the assassination ahead of schedule.

   At that time, the assassins only entered the right side. Since they were defeated, of course, they would not turn to the middle to enter the field, and flew out from the right side to take the target.

   Therefore, the ministers and family members who stayed in the middle of the two roads around the bonfire and barbecued meat were not assassinated by assassins at all. Their targets were the emperor, Taisun and Gu Jingyun. The manpower was limited, and there was really no need to waste time and manpower on these people.

   Three of the nine injured were officials' family members. They fell and were trampled a few times because they panicked. The remaining six were injured when they rushed forward to **** them. Fortunately, they were not fatal.

But this time, a lot of the servants and palace maids who secretly protected the emperor and the prince's grandson died. These people are under the command of the dark guard. Although Wan Peng doesn't understand it, he can see that the corpses are being carried down, and he knows that the dark guard suffered heavy losses. .

   When Wan Peng was giving a report, Gu Jingyun was pressing Li Baolu to the ground, knelt beside her on one knee and pulled out the arrow stuck on her shoulder.

This was the arrow she received when saving the prince and grandson. She didn't dodge in time, so the arrow shot directly through her clothes and almost brought her down. She was lucky. She was only scratched by this arrow, not a real hit. Cum on her shoulder, otherwise it will hurt to death.

  Gu Jingyun pulled out the arrow and pulled the person up, and went directly to Director Su, "Director Su, Baolu is injured, I'll take her to the account first."

   Director Su was grateful to Li Baolu for saving the emperor, and said without thinking, "Young Master Gu, go, I will let someone protect you."

   ordered ten guards for them in one breath.

  Although Commander Wan said the assassins have been eliminated, Concubine Lan is still there. Who knows if Concubine Lan is still loyal in this hunting ground? It's better to be cautious, Gu Jingyun is one of the three targets of the assassins.

  Gu Jingyun didn't refuse, and went back with ten guards to support Li Baolu.

The prince and the grandson were busy directing the rescue and could not take care of them. The grandson stole a while from his busy schedule to instruct the personal inmate who came to him, "let someone find a good wound medicine and send it to Gu. gentlemen."

  The internal supervisor had just witnessed the whole process of the assassination. He knew that Li Baolu had just saved three generations of his family, so he didn't dare to neglect and hurried to find medicine.

Li Baolu's injuries were not serious, except that the tiger's mouth had broken open, but it was the bruise on the left arm. There was a barb on the arrow, so he wiped off a piece of skin. Spicy and painful.

   But Li Baolu considers herself a brave little girl, so although her big eyes were wet, she still turned her head and said sternly, "Come on, get some medicine."

   Gu Jingyun glanced at her lightly, then turned around and brought hot water to clean up her wound, and then she put on ointment and bandaged her.

   He said quietly: "Your movements are getting faster and faster, and my eyes can no longer catch the traces of your shots."

  Li Baolu is very proud, "After all, I'm a year older. I haven't slackened at all since last year."

   "It's rare that you heard me compliment you." Gu Jingyun looked down at her and said lightly.

  Li Baolu shrank her neck and muttered in a low voice, "My hand was so fast. At that time, my mind hadn't turned the corner, but it was already shot. I can't take it back halfway..."

  Gu Jingyun snorted softly, "Am I blaming you for this?"

   "Huh?" Li Baolu looked up at him blankly, didn't she blame her for saving the emperor with so many hands?

Gu Jingyun looked at the tent door faintly, his voice barely audible, "He won't live long, I see death energy in him, just like those dying people who came to ask you to see a doctor, they can't be saved by medicine stones. He doesn't seem to have such a strong desire to survive anymore, it's better to pass on the throne after being stabbed to death than to succeed after being stabbed to death, I also really want to know what happened back then, and the expression on his face after knowing the truth..."

   He blamed Li Baolu for saving the emperor regardless of the consequences. She saved the crown prince and grandson first. She had already annoyed the archer and saved the emperor. If that person had supplemented Li Baolu with an arrow at that time, he was not sure whether she would be able to escape. Without Wan Peng...

Li Baolu's mind was all on the word "death", she whispered: "I think the emperor's appearance is a bit like a stroke, if he can bear the truth, it's fine, if he can't bear the rise in blood pressure... ..." The blood vessels in the brain didn't explode like a bomb?

   "So these two **** stay honest, the wind and rain will come, don't get yourself involved."

   "But we are already in the wind and rain. Didn't you realize that you are also the target of those assassins." Li Baolu frowned, "I can't figure this out. They have reasons to kill the emperor and the grandson. Why did they kill you?"

"Because of my uncle," Gu Jingyun said indifferently, "if the emperor dies, a new monarch must be established. If the grandson also dies, the prince will also collapse. In order to ensure that the fourth prince will succeed the throne, I must also die. Now, apart from the princes two, three, four, five and six, those who can choose to succeed him are the second son of the prince and the younger brother of the grandson, but he is only eleven years old."

"The second prince has a wound on his face, and that alone makes him unfit for the throne, and it can be ruled out. The third prince is cowardly by nature, as long as he is not a traitor, who would choose him to be on the throne?" Gu Jingyun sneered: "And the fifth prince has always been the only fourth prince. As for the sixth prince, a prince who has never even seen the emperor’s face since he was a child, do you think the courtiers will look at him in the eyes?” Therefore, among the princes, only the fourth prince is suitable for the throne, and the one who can compete with him in terms of identity is the second son of the prince.

"Both his father and brother are dead, and he is the heir. In terms of order, he is a more legitimate heir than the fourth prince. His biggest weakness is his young age. However, if he can welcome my uncle back to the dynasty, this weakness is not a weakness, but a weakness. It's an advantage." Gu Jingyun said: "The emperor and his grandson were assassinated, and the fourth prince is the first suspect. Even if there is no evidence, the courtiers will doubt it. Unless it is a last resort, the emperor's people will not elect him to the throne."

"With the precedent of my great-grandfather training the emperor, and the fact that my uncle tried to turn the tide and saved the half-dynasty officials, the courtiers and the clan would rest assured that the young emperor would be handed over to my uncle for training, but if I also died of assassination, Gu Jingyun's eyes were cold. "The only bloodline of the Qin family died in a royal battle. Do you think that my uncle will come forward and die for Da Chu? Even if he has such a mind, the courtiers and clan of Da Chu will not believe him." In order to prevent foreign relatives from gaining power, and the clan to prevent traitors from seizing power, even if they suspect that the fourth prince will let him ascend to the throne. So killing the emperor, killing the grandson, and killing me is foolproof."

  What Gu Jingyun can think of, the emperor has naturally thought of it long ago, otherwise he would not have accompanied Gu Jingyun with him and kept him under his own eyes at all times.
